i just love the sound of fireworks in the distance.. there's fireworks going off in the next city, mind you it's like 15 miles away. it makes me feel better...i've been feeling kind of down lately..so anything that makes me happy is AWESOME!
In Honduras, on Christmas and New Years... every kid in the entire country would blow up huge fireworks which are way past illegal in the US... the whole country sounded like there was a full blown war going on for a couple of days. There were always a couple of thousand of kids who blew their hands up with fireworks by the end of it all. Silly people.
Back when I was a teen, we went to visit my cousins on the Hawaiin island Oaho. My cousin Johhnny and my brother undid a string of firecrackers so they could throw them one at a time. the put all these firecrackers in a paper bag. While they were tossing the firecrackers one at a time, a lit fuse fell from one they were about to throw, and landed in the paper bag. You guessed it! The lit fuse ignited the other firecrackers! My cousin Jenny and I nearly wet ourselves laughing as the boys dove, rolled and ran all around the yard trying to escape the exploding paper bag that was chasing them down!
hehehe..oh dear, those stories made me giggle inside. except for the blowing up of the hands..yeah, that made me sad, but that's okay. i love me some comic relief, BSR.
